  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Subjects With at Least One Adverse Event (AE) From First Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) Dose up to Approximately 7 Years [From first dose of CZP to the end of the open-label study (approximately 7 years)]

      An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or trial subject that is administered a drug or biologic (medicinal product) or that is using a medical device. The event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with that treatment or usage. First dose of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) was at Baseline of the preceding double-blind study [NCT00152386] for subjects randomized to CZP, or at Entry Visit (Week 0) of this study for subjects randomized to Placebo.

    2. Percentage of Subjects With at Least One Serious Adverse Event (SAE) From First Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) Dose up to Approximately 7 Years [From first dose of CZP to the end of the open-label study (approximately 7 years)]

      A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: Results in death Is life-threatening Requires in patient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect Is as infection that requires treatment parenteral antibiotics Other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardise the patients, or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above First dose of CZP was at Baseline of the preceding double-blind study [NCT00152386] for subjects randomized to CZP, or at Entry Visit (Week 0) of this study for subjects randomized to Placebo.

    3. Percentage of Subjects Who Withdrew Due to an Adverse Event (AE) During the Study [From Entry Visit (Week 0) to the end of the study (approximately 6.5 years)]

      An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or trial subject that is administered a drug or biologic (medicinal product) or that is using a medical device. The event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with that treatment or usage. The results of this Primary Outcome Measure are summarized from the Adverse Event pages of the Case Report Forms.

    19. Change From Baseline of the Preceding Double-Blind Study to Week 96 in Modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS) [From Baseline of the preceding double-blind study to Week 96 of the open-label study]

      The mTSS quantifies the extent of bone erosions and joint space narrowing for 44 and 42 joints, respectively, as assessed by x-rays of the hands and feet. The score ranges from 0 to 448 with higher scores representing greater damage. A negative value in mTSS change from Baseline indicates an improvement from Baseline. The higher the negative value the better the improvement.

    20. Change From Baseline of the Preceding Double-Blind Study to Completion/Withdrawal Visit in Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Total Score [From Baseline of the preceding double-blind study to Completion/Withdrawal of the open-label study (up to approximately 7 years)]

      The HAQ-DI assesses the degree of difficulty experienced in eight domains (Dressing and Grooming, Arising, Eating, Walking, Hygiene, Reach, Gripping, Other Activities) of daily living activities using 20 questions. The HAQ-DI is calculated by summing the domain scores and dividing them by the number of domains. It ranges from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). Negative values indicate an improvement from Baseline to the Post-Baseline Visit with larger negative values showing a better improvement.

    21. Change From Baseline to Completion/Withdrawal Visit in Duration of Morning Stiffness [From Baseline of the preceding double-blind study to Completion/Withdrawal of the open-label study (up to approximately 7 years)]

      Morning stiffness is defined as the time in hours elapsed between the time of usual awakening (even if not in the morning) and the time the subject is as limber as he/she will be during a day involving typical activities. A negative value in duration of morning stiffness change from Baseline indicates an improvement from Baseline. The higher the negative value the better the improvement.

    22. Change From Baseline to Completion/Withdrawal Visit in Disease Activity Score 28 [Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate] (DAS28[ESR]) [From Baseline of the preceding double-blind study to Completion/Withdrawal of the open-label study (up to approximately 7 years)]

      DAS28[ESR] is calculated using the Tender Joint Count (TJC), Swollen Joint Count (SJC) Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR in mm/hour), and the Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity - Visual Analog Scale (VAS in mm) using the following formula: 0.56 x √(TJC) + 0.28 x √(SJC) + 0.70 x lognat (ESR) + 0.014 x Global Assessment of Arthritis where 28 joints are examined and a lower score indicates less disease activity. A negative value in DAS28[ESR] change from Baseline indicates an improvement from Baseline.

    23. Percentage of Subjects With Good European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Response at Completion/Withdrawal Visit [From Baseline of the preceding double-blind study to Completion/Withdrawal of the open-label study (up to approximately 7 years)]

      Good EULAR response is defined as Disease Activity Score 28 [Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate] (DAS28[ESR]) improvement from Baseline of the preceding double-blind study > 1.2 and DAS28[ESR] value < 3.2.

    24. Change From Baseline to Completion/Withdrawal Visit in Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) Item Questionnaire Physical Component Summary (PCS) Score [From Baseline of the preceding double-blind study to Completion/Withdrawal of the open-label study (up to approximately 7 years)]

      The SF-36 is a 36-item generic health status measure that measures 8 general health concepts: Physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Each domain of the eight domains and the summary concept PCS score are scored to yield values between 0 (worst) and 100 (best).

    25. Change From Baseline to Completion/Withdrawal Visit in Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) Item Questionnaire Mental Component Summary (MCS) Score [From Baseline of the preceding double-blind study to Completion/Withdrawal of the open-label study (up to approximately 7 years)]

      The SF-36 is a 36-item generic health status measure that measures 8 general health concepts: Physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Each domain of the eight domains and the summary concept MCS score are scored to yield values between 0 (worst) and 100 (best).

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details Enrollment of subjects started in June 2005. 121 centers in 22 countries enrolled subjects. Participant Flow refers to the Safety Set consisting of all enrolled subjects who received at least 1 dose of study medication. Of the 857 enrolled subjects, 846 subjects are included in the Safety Set. There was 1 enrolled subject who was never dosed.
    Pre-assignment Detail The study consists of 2 populations: of subjects who failed to achieve predefined criteria in preceding study NCT00152386 who entered C87028 on Week 16 of preceding study and of those who completed Week 52 of preceding study. Due to findings of fraud at one site, data of the 10 subjects of the site were not analyzed with data from other sites.

    Arm/Group Description All patients received Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) 400 mg subcutaneously (sc) every two weeks, given as two 1 ml injections of CZP for at least six months and then 200 mg of CZP sc every two weeks, given as one 1 ml injection. Certolizumab Pegol : Strength and Form: Lyophilized product reconstituted to 1 ml containing 200 mg of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) given as a subcutaneous injection. Dosage and Frequency: 400 mg every two weeks for at least 6 months, then 200 mg every two weeks. Duration: Until end of study.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Percentage of Subjects With at Least One Adverse Event (AE) From First Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) Dose up to Approximately 7 Years
    Description An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or trial subject that is administered a drug or biologic (medicinal product) or that is using a medical device. The event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with that treatment or usage. First dose of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) was at Baseline of the preceding double-blind study [NCT00152386] for subjects randomized to CZP, or at Entry Visit (Week 0) of this study for subjects randomized to Placebo.
    Time Frame From first dose of CZP to the end of the open-label study (approximately 7 years)
